## ikoreanx3 2 years ago Solve the problem. Devon purchased tickets to an air show for 4 adults and 2 children. The total cost was . The cost of a child's ticket was less than the cost of an adult's ticket. Find the price of an adult's ticket and a child's ticket.

1. mtmb11

x=$4 ans. for the price of the children tickets. 4+8=$12 ans. for the price of the adult tickets. Proof: 7*12+2*4=92 84+8=92 92=92

2. ikoreanx3

these are the multiple choice answers: adult's ticket: $13; child's ticket:$10 adult's ticket: $12; child's ticket:$9 adult's ticket: $14; child's ticket:$11 adult's ticket: $11; child's ticket:$8

6. mtmb11

7. ikoreanx3

$66 8. mtmb11 ok so this might be the long way but this is how i got your answer 9. mtmb11 so your answer chocies consist of this 13,10 and 12,9 and 14,11 and 11,8 10. ikoreanx3 ok o : 11. mtmb11 it says that adult has to cost more than the child ticket so therefore all of the big numbers are adult tickets and all of the small are kids. what i did is i saw that there where 4 adults and 2 kids so i got on my calculator :D and i did this.$12\times4=48 + 9\times2=18$ 12. mtmb11 if u add 48 plus 18 u get the answer of 66 13. ikoreanx3 ohhh o.o lol.... 14. ikoreanx3 um... did you use the answer choices to make that equation? o.o 15. mtmb11 what do u mean 16. mtmb11 your answer is adult's ticket:$12; child's ticket: $9 17. ikoreanx3 I am talking about 12 * 4 = 48 + 9 *2=18 18. ikoreanx3 Sorry T: 19. mtmb11 o ya i got that from the answer choices 20. ikoreanx3 you can do that? T.T; 21. ikoreanx3 Thank you for your help once again ^^ 22. mtmb11 lol your confusing the crap out of me lol.. ok what do u mean i can do that 23. ikoreanx3 I'm sorry, nevermind T_T 24. mtmb11 lol no im here to help math is my second strongest subject so throw it at me 25. ikoreanx3 Then, I have to throw a lot of questions at you... LOL D: 26. mtmb11 o god lol but ok.. what grade are u in?? 27. ikoreanx3 I'm a Freshmen in college.. T: 28. ikoreanx3 not good at math so I'm starting with basic level. 29. mtmb11 lol my sister is a freshman in college im in 11th grade 30. ikoreanx3 oh ^^; i feel embarrassed now.. 31. mtmb11 haha dont be :D i like helping out people :) 32. mtmb11 and im like u im taking basic Spanish so im in class with a lot of freshman and 10th graders 33. ikoreanx3 oh o : 34. mtmb11 ya so ask me your questions 35. ikoreanx3 Without solving, choose the correct solution by deciding which choice satisfies the given conditions. At the local convenience store, 3 bags of chips and 7 containers of dip cost$31. However, 6 bags of chips and 3 containers of dip cost $18. What is the cost of one bag of chips and one container of dip? chips =$3; dip = $5 chips =$1; dip = $4 chips =$1.50; dip = $3.50 chips =$2; dip = $3 36. mtmb11 O.o 37. mtmb11 ok lets do this 38. ikoreanx3 lol :( 39. mtmb11 wdf hold on 40. mtmb11 lol sorry im laughing a lot i cant think right now 41. ikoreanx3 its ok... 42. mtmb11 y are u so nice??? 43. ikoreanx3 o.O 44. mtmb11 lol sorry i was just wondering 45. mtmb11 chips =$1; dip = $4 46. mtmb11 thats your answer u want me to explain or no?? 47. ikoreanx3 explain please o: 48. mtmb11 ok so we know that the answer choice has to be correct for both problems instead of just one another 49. mtmb11 so what i did was i looked at you answers and i did this it says At the local convenience store, 3 bags of chips and 7 containers of dip cost$31. However, 6 bags of chips and 3 containers of dip cost $18. i looked at the answer choices chips =$3; dip = $5 chips =$1; dip = $4 chips =$1.50; dip = $3.50 chips =$2; dip = $3 and i looked at the first one and it says dip=$5 and i looked at your first problem 3 bags of chips and 7 containers of dip cost $31. and i multiplied 5times7 and got 35 see now i know that the first answer is wrong because it already goes over what its suppose to equal witch is 31$

50. mtmb11

then i did the second answer witch is chips = $1; dip =$4 so i got the dip amount witch is 4 and i multiplied that by 7 witch is 28 then is looked at how much the chips cost witch is 1 dollar per bag and it says that it has 3 bags so i added 28 plus 3 and u get 31 so that means answer 2 is correct for the 1st problem. for the second problem 6 bags of chips and 3 containers of dip cost $18. i did the same thing i did with the first problem i multiplied 4times3 equals 12 plus 6=18 and therefore your answer for this problem is chips =$1; dip = \$4

51. mtmb11
